Has anyone here been stopped by the police for the sole reason of suspicion of carrying concealed?

Based on how some LEO on here think the constitutional carry could make Terry Stops illegal, maybe so.
I wouldn't have thought so, which is why I can't understand the vehement opposition to constitutional carry based on that reasoning.
So that's a no for you?

That would be my belief.
Which is why I am confused as to the opposition to constitutional carry based on the belief that it would put the legality of Terry Stops in jeopardy.
Why is that confusing you? I assure you, there is more to the opposition than Terry Stops.

Because is has no basis in fact.
What other arguments?
All the arguments I have heard against constitutional carry and the same arguments the anti-gun crowd uses against guns in general.
Go ahead and make you case, I am open to any rational, reasonable arguments.
But Derps, Bubbas, and Dindus still have the same rights as everyone else.
If they are felons, they lose them just like everyone else.
I'm waiting.

I will not speak for others, only myself, so what you're going to read is my opinion only.
I do not want every single person out there to be able to slip a hi-point into their waist band and it be legal. Why? Because I don't want untrained moronic rednecks, who don't know the difference between a magazine and a clip, carrying around a deadly weapon. CHP "Training" is a joke, but if bubba and his friends aren't willing to accept that any form of training is a good idea, then they shouldn't be carrying anyway. I look at the CHP requirements the same as I view a driving test. Passing the driving test doesn't make you a good driver, but there are a lot of folks that fail the driving test. Just as I've seen tons of folks miss a target at 5 yards in a CHP class.
Your argument is going to be that a CHP is a permission slip that infringes on our rights. That's totally fine, be the freedom fighter you want to be, and try to get constitutional carry passed. I'm just saying that when it comes time to vote for it, I'm neither going to agree with it or disagree. You want it, you fight for it. I'm just going to sip my coffee and watch you fight the libtards.
Just like any good LEO might stop and check out any law abiding citizen legally open carrying, I imagine they would do the same with a person carrying concealed. Of course there is the issue of how it becomes known or suspected that a person is carrying concealed when it's supposed to be concealed.If an officer sees someone suspicious concealed carrying today, would they stop them? How would that change upon passage of such a law? I don't think it would. You still have to be able to posess the gun legally. If theres reason to believe that the person you've just seen with a gun isn't supposed to HAVE a gun, there is no impediment to stopping them and checking things out.
It sounds like your argument is basically, if someome hasn't broken the law YET, there's nothing we could do to hinder them from carrying. Imho, that's not a bug, that's a feature. It's kinda like, you should be presumed innocent until proven guilty. I know it's hard to understand, but try to look at it from the other side.

So if it's strictly a training issue, does that mean you are against the new Brandi Trahan Act?

I don't want unsafe and ignorant people carrying, but I believe it is their right.
I believe we all should have training before we carry, but I don't think it should be required.
I believe firearms safety should be taught in school, probably Jr High.
I would love to see LE offer free basic firearms training to the public.
I would love to see private charitable foundations offer grants to provide more advanced instruction to those who can't afford it.
The arguments you use against constitutional carry are the same ones the libtards use against any carry.
I doubt seriously anything catastrophic would take place if we passed it here. It would probably be no better / no worse than it is now.
The truth is, half the population wouldn't even be aware that the law changed, anyway.
